Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax She owned her condominium from December 3, 2010, to July 12, 2013 (more than 2 years). Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax She lived in the property from July 13, 2008 (the beginning of the 5-year period), to April 14, 2011 (more than 2 years).

Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Under this exception, you are considered to live in your home during any time within the 5-year period that you own the home and live in a facility (including a nursing home) licensed by a state or political subdivision to care for persons in your condition. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If you meet this exception to the use test, you still have to meet the 2-out-of-5-year ownership test to claim the exclusion. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Previous home destroyed or condemned. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax For the ownership and use tests, you add the time you owned and lived in a previous home that was destroyed or condemned to the time you owned and lived in the replacement home on whose sale you wish to exclude gain. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax This rule applies if any part of the basis of the home you sold depended on the basis of the destroyed or condemned home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Otherwise, you must have owned and lived in the same home for 2 of the 5 years before the sale to qualify for the exclusion. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Members of the uniformed services or Foreign Service, employees of the intelligence community, or employees or volunteers of the Peace Corps. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You can choose to have the 5-year test period for ownership and use suspended during any period you or your spouse serve on “qualified official extended duty” as a member of the uniformed services or Foreign Service of the United States, or as an employee of the intelligence community. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You can choose to have the 5-year test period for ownership and use suspended during any period you or your spouse serve outside the United States either as an employee of the Peace Corps on "qualified official extended duty" or as an enrolled volunteer or volunteer leader of the Peace Corps. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax This means that you may be able to meet the 2-year use test even if, because of your service, you did not actually live in your home for at least the required 2 years during the 5-year period ending on the date of sale. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If this helps you qualify to exclude gain, you can choose to have the 5-year test period suspended by filing a return for the year of sale that does not include the gain. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax For more information about the suspension of the 5-year test period, see Members of the uniformed services or Foreign Service, employees of the intelligence community, or employees or volunteers of the Peace Corps in Publication 523. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Married Persons If you and your spouse file a joint return for the year of sale and one spouse meets the ownership and use tests, you can exclude up to $250,000 of the gain. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax (But see Special rules for joint returns , next. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax ) Special rules for joint returns. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You can exclude up to $500,000 of the gain on the sale of your main home if all of the following are true. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You are married and file a joint return for the year. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Either you or your spouse meets the ownership test. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Both you and your spouse meet the use test. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax During the 2-year period ending on the date of the sale, neither you nor your spouse excluded gain from the sale of another home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If either spouse does not satisfy all these requirements, the maximum exclusion that can be claimed by the couple is the total of the maximum exclusions that each spouse would qualify for if not married and the amounts were figured separately. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax For this purpose, each spouse is treated as owning the property during the period that either spouse owned the property. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Example 1—one spouse sells a home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Emily sells her home in June 2013 for a gain of $300,000. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax She marries Jamie later in the year. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax She meets the ownership and use tests, but Jamie does not. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Emily can exclude up to $250,000 of gain on a separate or joint return for 2013. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The $500,000 maximum exclusion for certain joint returns does not apply because Jamie does not meet the use test. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Example 2—each spouse sells a home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The facts are the same as in Example 1 except that Jamie also sells a home in 2013 for a gain of $200,000 before he marries Emily. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax He meets the ownership and use tests on his home, but Emily does not. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Emily can exclude $250,000 of gain and Jamie can exclude $200,000 of gain on the respective sales of their individual homes. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax However, Emily cannot use Jamie's unused exclusion to exclude more than $250,000 of gain. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Therefore, Emily and Jamie must recognize $50,000 of gain on the sale of Emily's home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The $500,000 maximum exclusion for certain joint returns does not apply because Emily and Jamie do not both meet the use test for the same home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Sale of main home by surviving spouse. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If your spouse died and you did not remarry before the date of sale, you are considered to have owned and lived in the property as your main home during any period of time when your spouse owned and lived in it as a main home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If you meet all of the following requirements, you may qualify to exclude up to $500,000 of any gain from the sale or exchange of your main home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The sale or exchange took place after 2008. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The sale or exchange took place no more than 2 years after the date of death of your spouse. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You have not remarried. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You and your spouse met the use test at the time of your spouse's death. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax You or your spouse met the ownership test at the time of your spouse's death. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Neither you nor your spouse excluded gain from the sale of another home during the last 2 years. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Example. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Harry owned and used a house as his main home since 2009. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Harry and Wilma married on July 1, 2013, and from that date they use Harry's house as their main home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Harry died on August 15, 2013, and Wilma inherited the property. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Wilma sold the property on September 3, 2013, at which time she had not remarried. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Although Wilma owned and used the house for less than 2 years, Wilma is considered to have satisfied the ownership and use tests because her period of ownership and use includes the period that Harry owned and used the property before death. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Home transferred from spouse. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax If your home was transferred to you by your spouse (or former spouse if the transfer was incident to divorce), you are considered to have owned it during any period of time when your spouse owned it.

Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Reduced Maximum Exclusion If you fail to meet the requirements to qualify for the $250,000 or $500,000 exclusion, you may still qualify for a reduced exclusion. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax This applies to those who: Fail to meet the ownership and use tests, or Have used the exclusion within 2 years of selling their current home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax In both cases, to qualify for a reduced exclusion, the sale of your main home must be due to one of the following reasons. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax A change in place of employment. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Health. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Unforeseen circumstances. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Unforeseen circumstances. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The sale of your main home is because of an unforeseen circumstance if your primary reason for the sale is the occurrence of an event that you could not reasonably have anticipated before buying and occupying your main home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax See Publication 523 for more information and to use Worksheet 3 to figure your reduced maximum exclusion. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Business Use or Rental of Home You may be able to exclude gain from the sale of a home you have used for business or to produce rental income. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax But you must meet the ownership and use tests. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Periods of nonqualified use. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax In most cases, gain from the sale or exchange of your main home will not qualify for the exclusion to the extent that the gains are allocated to periods of nonqualified use. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Nonqualified use is any period after 2008 during which neither you nor your spouse (or your former spouse) used the property as a main home with the following exceptions. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Exceptions. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax A period of nonqualified use does not include: Any portion of the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange after the last date you (or your spouse) use the property as a main home; Any period (not to exceed an aggregate period of 10 years) during which you (or your spouse) are serving on qualified official extended duty: As a member of the uniformed services; As a member of the Foreign Service of the United States; or As an employee of the intelligence community; and Any other period of temporary absence (not to exceed an aggregate period of 2 years) due to change of employment, health conditions, or such other unforeseen circumstances as may be specified by the IRS. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The gain resulting from the sale of the property is allocated between qualified and nonqualified use periods based on the amount of time the property was held for qualified and nonqualified use. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Gain from the sale or exchange of a main home allocable to periods of qualified use will continue to qualify for the exclusion for the sale of your main home. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Gain from the sale or exchange of property allocable to nonqualified use will not qualify for the exclusion. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Calculation. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax To figure the portion of the gain allocated to the period of nonqualified use, multiply the gain by the following fraction: Total nonqualified use during the period of ownership after 2008 Total period of ownership This calculation can be found in Worksheet 2, line 10, in Publication 523. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Example 1. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax On May 23, 2007, Amy, who is unmarried for all years in this example, bought a house. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax She moved in on that date and lived in it until May 31, 2009, when she moved out of the house and put it up for rent. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax The house was rented from June 1, 2009, to March 31, 2011. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Amy claimed depreciation deductions in 2009 through 2011 totaling $10,000. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Amy moved back into the house on April 1, 2011, and lived there until she sold it on January 31, 2013, for a gain of $200,000. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax During the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale (January 31, 2008-January 31, 2013), Amy owned and lived in the house for more than 2 years as shown in the following table. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Five Year Period Used as Home Used as Rental 1/31/08 – 5/31/09 16 months 6/1/09 – 3/31/11 22 months 4/1/11 – 1/31/13 22 months 38 months 22 months During the period Amy owned the house (2,080 days), her period of nonqualified use was 668 days. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Amy divides 668 by 2,080 and obtains a decimal (rounded to at least three decimal places) of 0. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax 321. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax To figure her gain attributable to the period of nonqualified use, she multiplies $190,000 (the gain not attributable to the $10,000 depreciation deduction) by 0. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax 321. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Because the gain attributable to periods of nonqualified use is $60,990, Amy can exclude $129,010 of her gain.

Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Because the period of nonqualified use does not include any part of the 5-year period after the last date William lived in the house, he has no period of nonqualified use. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax Because he met the ownership and use tests, he can exclude gain up to $250,000. Filing 2011 taxes late turbotax However, he cannot exclude the part of the gain equal to the depreciation he claimed or could have claimed for renting the house, as explained next.
